Commission VI Supports Adjustment Of Non-Subsidized Fuel Prices And Requests Pertalite Formulation So As Not To Make PT Pertamina Loss

JAKARTA - Last Monday, March 28, a decision was issued as a result of the RDP Commission VI with Pertamina. One of the points is that the parliament supports Pertamina's plan to adjust the price of non-subsidized fuel.

In the conclusion of the meeting, Commission VI agreed with the adjustment of non-subsidized fuel prices to follow the economic price of world oil. One of the reasons is to ensure that PT Pertaminan's financial condition remains safe.

The conclusion of this meeting was signed by the President Director of Pertamina, Nicke Widyawati and the head of Commission VI Aria Bima.

On the one hand, Commission VI also asked the government to increase the quota for subsidized diesel in order to meet the needs of the community. However, this must also be followed by clear rules of the game, what kind of vehicles are allowed to use subsidized diesel.

"Commission VI urges the government to change the diesel compensation mechanism to a full subsidy mechanism," the meeting concluded.

Commission VI also asked the government to immediately determine the price formula for pertalite that would not harm the government.

"Ask the government and Pertamina to immediately discuss price adjustments for subsidized and non-subsidized fuel and LPG due to price disparities due to international price fluctuations," he said.
